I've put up an updated Beta build of DangerLands based on the results from the vanilla multiplayer test.

The texture size of the terrain has been cut way down just for the test to keep the build size down.

This uses a beat version of the web plugin, so you may be asked to install the Shiva 3D web player.

Tip: Run it in Full Screen, it seems to avoid some connection issues!

This is Beta 002

Future test builds will use the web plugin, so this address will not change for some time. This should run on most platforms and browsers.

I widened the chat box to make it easier to chat

i Only get a gray screen when i open that. but i worked on my windows partition. doesn't work with my safari on my mac though. 

Hi there... not sure if its supposed to be open or not, but I gave it a try a @ about 8:30am EST Nov 11th, using Firefox ver "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5".

I was able to login and create a character, but after choosing my name and trying to proceed, the browser shut and I received error:

S3DCrashReporter.exe - System Error

The program can't start because MSVCR71.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Other info is that it is a Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (RTM) install.

well I updated all my software so i have the latest versions of everything. Tried installing and uninstalling it 3 times. And after I install it and i click on that link it loads to it and then i just get a gray web page. it says dangerlands multiplayer test at the top and application created with shiva at the bottom. Any idea as to what is wrong? i have enabled pop ups and that still didn't help. as soon as it gets to that gray page with the yellow words at the top and at the bottom it stops loading and thats all it does. there isn't an option to go fullscreen either.

Edit: I tried it on my windows partition and it worked fine. it went to that gray screen i get to on my mac except a loading bar popped up instantly and it loaded just fine. But i did not see a full screen option anywhere. I checked around before I logged in and when i was ingame, no full screen mode.

Edit: also made sure plug ins and everything else were enabled, and reset cache, and i reset safari. Still Doesn't work. The plug in is there. I checked Installed plug ins and it showed up. I dont understand why it wont load.
